QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 09:39 PM) This is true. Even though I'm a democrat, I still wanted to hear what the Republicans have to say. I'm not bashing them or anything, but this is boring. If you watch on CNN there is a guy really close to one of their mics yelling and stuff. it sounds totally out of place and is kinda funny, you might find that entertaining. well entertaining for a little bit at least, then it gets annoying.

Pretty good speech brought up an important point, taxing business or erasing even more capital isn't going to help the economy. told McCain's story from Vietnam and tied it in to his political career nicely. even took a shot at the media not a policy speech by any means, which they really need to focus on. can't have too many speeches like that one.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) Instead of me having to prove a negative, ball's in your court. Fair enough, I'll post a substantive media critique in the near future.

i like this thread

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) but it's the liberal media, this tried and true argument that you mr. genius feels in his gut but can rarely prove. Honestly, there really is no convincing you of any bias, so as far as you are concerned nothing could ever be proven as far as a media bias. You think the NY Times is a complete unbiased news source. I'm not trying to insult you, I just think you have a very skewed view of what is appropriate or fair journalism. but I will spare you any further posts on the media for a while, as i understand it is pissing people off and getting very redundant.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 04:19 PM) Well yeah, it was shady. Obama apparently never actually did anything illegal or below-board, and nothing came out from Rezko about Obama during the trial (but damn did Blago ever look like s*** after that), but Obama did acknowledge he made a mistake and that he should've known better. That's about all we know for now. But I mean, frankly, with politicians these kinds of associations are a dime a dozen, and I would believe that literally everyone has a shady association somewhere, even the "clean" ones. It's actually pretty shocking that Obama only has this amount of scandal seeing that he's a Chicago politician. I do believe that Barack is a man of farily high character. Most politicians are going to have some shady connections ... warning, snarky comment, read at your own risk : ... but I do understand what Drunkbomber is getting at with his argument and I agree with him.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) Sorry, my bad... go back to making the same post every 5 minutes. there we go, another great post.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) We'll see how long any sense of civility will last. answer = 5 minutes, 0 posts.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) You forgot to say something about the MSM. I didn't see any spittle. 2 demerits. the MSM is pro-Dem. please remove at least 1 demerit.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) Not sure if you've noticed through your red-colored glasses, but ask AHB how I've been responding to some of his posts as well. My 'disapproval' of your posts is just me pointing out that your posts are basically all one, long, repeater of the same theme now. Yes, I realize other posters are the same. Do you want to emulate them? Just going along with the atmosphere of the board. Whats the point getting into a discussion when any decent post will have 12 instant snark pro-Dem posts? I was going to commend you on your blue tinted glasses and note how stylish they are. But telling a poster they have tinted glasses and only see things from one perspective is what we are trying to avoid, correct? Ok, I can go along with that. We'll see how long any sense of civility will last.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:40 PM) Are you always this funny? Are your retorts always this well thought out and relevant? edit: oh, thanks for proving my point with your post.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) Just think... if the media was fair the Republicans would never lose, and the Palin pick would be viewed positively... nope.nope. no sarcasm allowed KipWellsFan.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) Seriously, do you have anything other than this schtick right now? The media coverage has been historic (in a bad way unfortunately) and it deserves ridicule. And honestly, the whole snarky Obamatron schtick is everywhere on these forums, your 'disapproval' of my posts is somewhat suspect. If you don't like my posts put me on ignore or whatever.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) The fact that she was a registered GOP'er does not mean she wasn't part of the AIP. But, I am now curious as to whether or not this is true. I guess we'll wait for that to shake out. Who cares if it's true, just run with it! MSM 08' woot

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 01:19 PM) The Annenberg Challenge is a program that awarded grants to schools across the country. He was picked to chair a program devoted to improving education? Scandalous! This isn't exactly super damaging to Obama in any situation, I think. You seem to want to taint Obama by having received one donation and having one fundraising party thrown by him by someone who wasn't convicted of anything. Oh, and he served on a board or two with him. Funny that you make a big deal out of this, when John McCain accepted over $112,000 in legal contributions by a convicted felon named Charles Keating who served 4 1/2 years in prison. And trips on corporate jets. And after all that, John McCain stepped in to try to get regulators out of Keating's Savings and Loan mess. I don't know, if you ride the Straight Talk Express, maybe you can tell me which should give you the greater pause. William Ayers was the chair of that? no wonder our schools suck, we have idiots like him in charge. that is scandal. *my 2 cents spent*

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 01:08 PM) Definitely not, because the AIP stuff is fabricated left wing nonsense. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/john-stephens...ce-party-are-fa the media will probably stop pushing that angle now, but they will probably continue to attack her kids for a while.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) I think I clearly state: 1) This cant be real 2) There may be a way to make posts appear older. Im just reporting to what I find and I was pretty skeptical but still thought it was interesting none the less. A lot of these sites are getting taken down quickly (Levi's my space, his sister Mercedes my space) so its hard to try and get the information before it gets deleted. your post was worded in a way that led me to believe you thought that webpag could actually be a legit. why even post it if you know it was false? 'there may be a way to make posts appear older' of course there is a way

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) So I searched Levi Johnston, found a strange webpage: http://levijohnston.com/Blog/ Now I know that cant be real, but its odd that it has posts about all of the Palin daughter stuff prior to her mother even being selected as VP... Now there may be a way to make the posts appear to be older, but the one about meeting Bristol is from a year ago. uhhhhhhh you do know that those dates could be merely coded in right? just because it says Dec.17 doesn't mean it was actually posted on Dec17.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 12:23 PM) Swiftboating? http://newsbusters.org/blogs/john-stephens...ce-party-are-fa haha the NY Times just making stuff up again. maybe they have a spot for Dan Rather in their newsroom.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 10:54 AM) It is really sad that Palin's pregnant kid has gotten more attention than the William Ayers connections did... The election coverage has been really bad. now the media is attacking the kids of a VP candidate, a new low.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) But jeebus, is it just me, or do you try to win every argument with, "the media has a liberal bias." it's a major factor in their coverage of McCain and his campaign. Dismissing these motives doesn't allow for a reliable analysis. Just like if we were talking about the reverend Wright thing and FOX news, a pro-GOP bias would have to be mentioned. Nice try tough

Obama today: "People's families are off limits. People's children are definitely off limits. My mother had me when she was only 18." touche, mr.Obama
